NCAA Basketball Tournament: Syracuse Looks Tough

The Syracuse basketball team is a seven point favorite for its game vs Dayton in the round of 32. The game will begin at 7:10 pm Eastern time on Saturday.

On paper Syracuse got a “present” as Dayton University upset Ohio State in the round of 64.

I do not think Syracuse will take Dayton lightly and will win by around 10 points. Dayton’s greatest season was in 1967, when they were runners-up to Lew Alcindor’s first UCLA title team.

I also predict Syracuse will get another break and not face Kansas in the regional finals. The Jayhawks of Kansas will lose before that round.

Eventually Syracuse will have to beat top seed Florida and do not rule that out.
